Boroli Barolo

Boroli Barolo

Wine Description

The Boroli family is a family of entrepreneurs, with roots in Piedmont dating back to 1831.  The family started their winemaking business in1997, when Silvano and Elena Boroli felt an ardent desire to step away from the pressures of their publishing business and reconnect to nature. Silvano and Elena grew the company until their son, Achille, stepped in to run the wine-growing and production business in 2012.

With the 2012 grape harvest Achille decided to radically change the methods used in vineyards and wineries, aiming for the highest quality in Barolo and its crus. He cut production levels, updated the winemaking technology, and focused on low intervention methods to raise the quality of the Boroli wines be on par with the finest Barolo wines.

Acclaim
“Packaged with the black label, the Boroli 2019 Barolo Brunella draws its fruit from a choice vineyard site in Castiglione Falletto. This wine shows great balance between dark fruit, mineral and spice. It gives equal billing to all these important aromatic pieces to create nice harmony with long-lasting effects. Brunello also tends to show the most structure and fruit weight among these new releases.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2023
“This exciting Barolo, from various vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, bursts from the glass with pristine aromas of ripe cherries, fresh wildflowers and sweet spices. The generous palate showcases mixed red berries with hints of rosewood and nutmeg finishing with supple tannins that make it enjoyable in its youth.” – (Editors’ Choice) — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023

Boroli's Barolo is made by a special combination of careful grape selection, precise destemming, and long mascerations with submerged cap. The barrels used to age this wine are very carefully chosen by the winemaker.
